    "content": "should aim at. We do not want to zero down on certain areas, but we must also appreciate the diversity of this country. It is just a month ago that an entire police station was deserted and the police officers ran away for their lives not because they feared their attackers, but because the terrorists who attacked the station were more equipped than them. This is actually something that is worrying. The station was manned by seven people and the attackers were over 50. The officers were carrying AK-47 guns while the terrorists were carrying sophisticated weapons. We must arm our uniformed officers in general to enable them protect us and our boundaries. We cannot assume, as a country that all will be well when the terrorists who attack everyday have known the capability of our officers and are attacking us right, left and center, without fearing our officers. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, of course, there are cultural issues that affect the morale of our officers, especially when their dignity and how they feel is not looked into. I, therefore, support this Motion and urge this House without discriminating and without seeing that we are supporting one part of country more than the other, that the Government expedites this housing and salary increments and stop threatening graduate officers. We know all graduate officers might not all fight in the field but we should also encourage them with their intelligence and stop the notion that their salaries will be deducted. I, therefore, rise to support this Motion. Thank you."
